Model Ship - 1930 America Cup Yacht Enterprise

A racing yacht that has finally agreed to stay indoors.

This model ship of the 1930 America's Cup yacht Enterprise dates to the 20th century and is made of wood and brass. Builders make scale models like this for yacht clubs, sailors and collectors, to commemorate famous racing boats and show off their lines. The cream hull has a dark keel and narrow deck, and the tall mast carries pale cloth sails, all rigged on two brass posts. A slim brass-framed case and a stepped wooden base surround it. Thirty-three inches wide, thirteen deep and thirty-nine high.

No wind is required. Dusting is.
